Parker much better than I thought,deserves to be at world level.clever performance from Joshua used his jab well but not the usual fireworks we expect from him.

Joshua did a very professional job on Parker. It wasn’t exciting to watch, but he won’t be bothered about that. The question is, how good is Joshua? It’s hard to see anyone out there that’s likely to overly trouble him. Whyte would be a good fight, but I don’t see why he would have anymore of a chance than the last time, and Fury as a lot to prove.
United we stand here....

I've never understood how difficult it is to stand quietly for an anthem and show a bit respect to anybody brave enough to actually get in the ring in the 1st place.

Pretty awful fight. AJ lucky it’s a pretty weak division just now.

I don't really understand the reaction to AJ after the fight, not really on here but across social media and some of the media.
A few years back when Joshua was blowing away journeymen it was 'wait until this guy from NZ Parker gets a hold of him'. The fight is made, Joshua shows a more than decent level of boxing skill and beats a live opponent pretty comfortably and it's 'that was boring', 'look how poor he is when in with a real boxer'.
I think the mists of time make everyone believe there was never a bad (tactical?) heavyweight fight pre 2005. Ali, Frasier, Foreman et al were in a few stinkers and had their share of points wins. Lennox Lewis was a master at keeping distance with the jab and throwing the big right sparingly; he was booed out the ring for doing exactly that to another famous Kiwi many moons ago.
Though they won't admit it I actually think Fury, Wilder, Povetkin etc will be more worried seeing Joshua box to a plan and show some skill behind the jab than they may have been if he had gone in and tried to blast Parker out.
I thought both boxed well, Joshua used his attributes well and was the better boxer over the piece.

Wilder confirmed today he is willing to fight AJ in the UK this summer, 60/40 split agreed apparantly. I really hope they get this signed off as soon as possible and before any mandatory fights are set in place.
